[AZ-Observing] Re: Cold (extreme) weather boots

The always generous Beevo gave me a pair of electric socks that he bought at 
WalMart.  I have used them for about 5 years with a light, low-cut boot.  They 
work great.  The trick is to wear a pair of sweat pants over the top of regular 
pants and use the lower elastic band to help support the D-cell battery. 
Otherwise, the battery can slide down to your ankle (the sweats are a great 
outer layer for warmth).
This is an alternative to heavy, klunky boots if you go up and down a step 
ladder during an observing run (a good way to stay warm, BTW). 
Never seen 'em at WalMart, but there seem to be a lot of heated socks on line. 
Some seem to have a cord to a battery you can put in your pocket.
